Several days oflast week the wealth
er was quite mild, but it is cold again
now, and it pinches too, after few
warm sunny days.
Last week we heard several of the
farmers talk about going to blowing
soon, but they have abandoned the
idea until winter breaks again.
Mr.. Butler Smith of Goodbars, was
in this neighborhood last week and
purchased several head of cattle, en-
aiding those of whom he bought to

IRVING COLLEGE.
The Weekly Budget of News from

The Christmas excitement has

faras the weather will admit, are max"
ing preparations for their next corn
crop. Maj. f. NJ. Martin has turned
his ground for his next corn crop, and
quite a number ofothers have plowed
some. The Major seems to think
that fall and winter blowing has a
tendency to diminish the ravages of
the cut worm as well as to render the
land more fertile and easily cultivat-
ed.
Charley Barnes has gone on bust
ness to Birmingham, Ala, whittier
he has been shipping fruit.

WAsHISGToN, May 10Th. Especial l.
The Critic tonight, speaking of the organ
ization of the National Association of Cali
fornia Pioneers, effected last Saturday.
says The new Association is composed
of the best representative types of the brave
and adventurous men who first sought the
shores of the then distant FL Dorado.
Many of them have since risen to distinc-
ton in the history of their country. Their
President had already achieved renown ere
the first discovery of gold. ALI of them
are characterized by those peculiar traits
which necessarily lead to the inception of
great enterprises and are most essential TO
the laying of broad and deep foundations
of new political communities. They can
say this of themselves without the imputa-
ton of vain glory-they left the impress of
their energy upon the very soil in which
they detye1, and it is stamped
upon the annals of the State
from the outset of its won 1erful
career. 1t is not surprising. then, that men
like these-in the full possession of their
mental and physical faculties-should be
living; or that, animated by strong frater-
nal sympathies born of mutual dangers.
vicissitndes and priyations on the slopes of
the Pacific, they should come together like
brothers again, after lapse of nearly forty
years, to pour ibations OF friendship upon
the shrine of their renewed youth. The
organization they have made, and made so
well upon so short notice, is of Itself
demonstration that the spirit and energy
which took them promptly to the front Of
pioneer life in California, have not been
impaired by the rayages of time nor the
burdens of mature age. Long may the
sturdy ranks OF the Association remain
unbroken.'

The army of New York newspaper
men with O'Brien was increased

and they are all so thoughly prepared

reading of the address at the depot and the

tunities. Boyd, of the Toronto
Mail. who is here, says: Although
opposed himself to O'Brien, the fact was
that the Orange resolutions meant moth

that O'Brien was determined on coming
they quietly agreed to let matters take their
course.
